So my recommendation without overstepping the mark is to trial available off the shelf solutions too…
This originally got posted just before the boards went down, so here it is again. A bit of round-robin painting action between Jeff Parrott, Ryan Hastings and I.

I get this Error with 1.7 in DDO when creating a new project, right after it's created the curvature map and while making a map called "mn-Fm-dtmu". Error occures ONLY if the project has a color map! Without it, everything works just fine. EDIT: Seems that the generated ID Map does not have a Layer called…
